Discussion

DISPLAY

The display is one of the most important things about smartphones as it adds to the smart phone’s beauty, apart from giving them more capabilities. The display of Infinix Note 4 is a nice one, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of type. Note 4’s display belongs to the in-plane switching family. Compared to their TFT counterpart, IPS displays give out excellent graphics.

The display of Infinix Note 4 is 5.70 inches in size. This display size is not too bad for a high-end smartphone. As of the time of the release of this device, it displays was well over the standard for high-end smartphones. The display of the smart device is calculated to have a pixel density of 387 pixels per inch. This high pixel density can be attributed to the 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution of the smart device.

NETWORK

Infinix Note 4 which is about a year old, in the phone market, was released during a period when 4G had just started blazing. As a result of this, the smartphone was made to support 4G networks. With support for mobile networks that belong to this generation, users of this smartphone can access the internet at speeds up to 30 MB/S. In other words, it will be possible to download a movie that will have ordinarily taken over 2 minutes, in under 15 seconds.

To use a 4G network, a user will require to insert a micro SD card into their smartphone. However, not just any micro SIM card will make it possible for the phone to use a 4G network, only SIM cards that support 4G will make this possible. Unlike the majority of smartphones that come with support for 2G, 3G and 4G networks, Note 4 has support for only 2G and 4G networks.

CHIPSET

Just like a majority of Infinix Mobility’s smartphones Infinix Note 4 is championed by a chipset produced by MediaTek. MediaTek has consistently ranked as the second-best smartphone chipset maker in the world. This chipset manufacturer has been in the industry for a long time, and they have gained remarkable experience that makes it very challenging for many other manufacturers to compete significantly with them.

The chipset that champions Infinix Note 4 is known as MediaTek MT6753. A smartphone user who is well familiar with the industry will know this chipset is commonly used by smartphone manufacturers. The chipset’s popularity is due to its quality and affordability. This chipset is a quad-core chipset. In simpler terms, the chipset is made up of four processors. The processors of this chipset can all process at speeds up to 1.40 GHz.

RAM

Random access memory is a very important component of a computing system. This memory is what processors use to store data and instructions. Without a random access memory (RAM), it will be impossible for a computing system to operate. This type of memory are not the regular SD cards we insert into our phone, they are rather special memories. In addition, they are memory optimized for random access by processors.

With a random access memory of this capacity, users of this smartphone will enjoy seamless operation from the smartphone. The user will also enjoy a seamless operation even if they are running multiple heavy apps at the same time.

OS

Like some high-end smartphones, especially those that were released in 2017, Infinix Note 4 does not score well in the aspect of the operating system. The smartphone does not score well in this aspect because it runs Android 7.0 Nougat. Android 7.0 Nougat is not expected from a high-end smartphone, considering that 8.0 Oreo and 9.0 Pie have been released by Google. To make things worse, the smartphone is not an Android One phone which means it can not receive OS upgrade from Google.

Quite a lot has been said about why Infinix Note 4 does not score well in the OS aspect. It is, however, time to change that. Although Android 8.0 Oreo or 9.0 Pie is expected from Infinix Note 4, this does not mean Android 7.0 Nougat is a poor OS. Rather than being a poor OS, Android 7.0 Nougat is a nice operating. In addition, the operating is one of the best mobile operating system available in the market.

STORAGE

In the early days of the Android operating system, the standard size of internal storage of a high-end Android phone was 2 GB. In a few years, this standard increased to 4 GB. The standard increased continuously, and it is currently 32 GB. Interestingly, Infinix Note 4 comes a 32 GB internal storage, meeting up to its expectation, in the aspect of internal storage size.

The operating system (OS) run by Infinix Note 4 is housed in the internal storage of the smartphone. In other words, the total free space of this smartphone will be less than 32 GB. The Android 7.0 Nougat operating system of this phone takes some gigabytes of storage space. Just like the operating system, there are also some pre-installed apps on this phone that take up some storage space of this phone.

It is very common for smartphone users to try provide more storage for their smartphone. A user of Infinix Note 4 can always provide more storage space to their smartphone if they desire. To provide additional storage space to Note 4, a micro SD card not more than 128 GB should be inserted into the smartphone. Putting in other words, while Note 4 comes out of the box with a 32 GB of storage space, it is possible for the phone to have 168 GB of storage space (32 GB internal storage + 128 GB micro SD card).
